asciilifeform: the bleeding edge, afaik, is still jurov's
asciilifeform: so it was not yet done, and i don't expect to see it done any time soon.
asciilifeform: shinohai: trb memory pighoggery prevents the practical trbification of any of these. but it is ~impossible to fix without rewriting good chunk of it.
asciilifeform: shinohai: it isn't a game-changing box, is the problem, it still has very small ram
asciilifeform: shinohai: i got it jtag'd and then folks said 'snore' and i boxed it up, put on shelf.
asciilifeform: probe lets you stop a running cpu; from instruction 0 after powerup, if you want; set breakpoints anywhere in memory (incl. smm); issue arbitrary bus cycles; read/write all regs; etc
asciilifeform: and reverse-engineering of heathen iron (various pci cards, and their winblows drivers)
asciilifeform: i will spell out here, what the thing is for. it is for os development, and specifically those aspects that cannot be done under, e.g., qemu, namely -- diddling of live hardware (nics, vga, etc)
asciilifeform: (which is still 8x moar than pogo...)
asciilifeform: shinohai: don't expect to do much trb on the g1 board that comes with the sage - it has soldered-down 1GB of ram
asciilifeform: i still have a bunch of'em, they have 10,001 uses.
asciilifeform: pogo is great if your proggy isn't a memory hog.
asciilifeform: think of how much telegraph that'd buy
asciilifeform: 'Krebs said he has explored the possibility of retaining a DDoS mitigation service, but he found that the cost—somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000 per year for the type of always-on protection he needs against high-bandwidth attacks—is more than he can afford.' >>>> obligatory >>>> http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1490
asciilifeform: srsly, this grandmaster, hero, and nobody will mirror him ?
asciilifeform: meanwhile, from earlier idiocy, '"It's hard to imagine a stronger form of censorship than these DDoS attacks because if nobody wants to take you on then that's pretty effective censorship," Krebs told Ars on Friday. "I've had a couple of big companies offer and then think better of offering to help me. That's been frustrating."'
asciilifeform: '@briankrebs @ComputerGuy33 or if the content is so $ valuable then monetize it and use $ to pay for hosting.' << lel
asciilifeform: (didn't somebody walk in here a few wks ago pushing that thing?)
asciilifeform: 'Peppermint Daddy @rafikichi · 4m4 minutes ago @briankrebs Publish your articles on decentralized #Steemit and get paid as well.'
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/XkHIh << peanut gallery snapshot for the lulz. 'I wonder if @briankrebs has a negligence case against the manufacturers of the IoT devices that got hacked and took down his website?' .... but somehow not mircea_popescu against shitpress, because Reasons. etc
asciilifeform: hence mentioned 'he conjured' for completeness.
asciilifeform: 'For the better part of a day, KrebsOnSecurity, arguably the world's most intrepid source of security news, has been silenced...' << ohnoez!11
asciilifeform: best way is to have as many of the things as you have boards that take'em, but this is complicated by the fact that if the probe is plugged in but not driven, the board will not boot.
asciilifeform: (and, most annoyingly, typically on the 2nd or 3rd time you do it...)
asciilifeform: also trinque it ~will~ die if you plug it in backwards.
asciilifeform: (or some tool which accepts gdb plumbing, e.g., 'ida')
asciilifeform: you gotta be comfortable with gdb at the minimum.
asciilifeform: sage is a pretty temperamental instrument, though, definitely not konsoomer 'plug and go' sort of affair.
asciilifeform: trinque et al : anyone who intends to do whatever x86 wizardry at whatever potential point in the future, ought to consider picking up one of them things.
asciilifeform: y presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise clientele. They were doing the pre-crime policing already anyway.'
asciilifeform: 'It is but a little speculation to posit this is why governments got into the AML/KYC rigmarole: They saw the combatting fraud pretext being done and wanted in on that game, for information is power and having the mechanisms in place to cut individuals out of the system with convenient excuses is just prudence, if you think that way. And on the other side, it neatly explains why banks didn’t utter a peep in defence of their formerl
asciilifeform: 'But instead of warning the affected companies that their customers were at risk, the NSA maintained the silence.'
asciilifeform: and, while we're on subj, https://archive.is/2QkOB -- 'a former NSA employee carelessly left those hacking tools on a remote server three years ago after an operation and a group of Russian hackers found them, sources close to the investigation told Reuters.'
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/qZNlh << aaaaand elsewhere in lulzdom, 'Leaked NSA hacking tools are now being used on Cisco customers, according to the tech giant. The company published an advisory on Friday saying that NSA grade hacking tools are now being used against customers.'
